Defence

As far as we’re concerned there are two strong candidates for clean sheets tonight – Chelsea at home to West Brom and Stoke City hosting Norwich City. These should also be wins for the home teams hence our defence is populated with Thibaut Courtois and Branislav Ivanovic from Chelsea along with Glen Johnson and Erik Pieters from Stoke.

Midfield

Chelsea’s Willian and Stoke’s Xherdan Shaqiri make up half of our midfield four and they are joined by Aaron Ramsey from Arsenal and Adam Lallana from Liverpool. Ramsey is a consistent scorer and we’re taking a punt on Lallana who will surely grab a hatful of points soon.

Forwards

Again we’ve stuck with Diego Costa (Chelsea) and Marko Arnautovic (Stoke City) up front and they are complemented by Manchester City’s Sergio Aguero who we preferred over Raheem Sterling for tonights game against Everton.
